Gabon Likely To See A Moderate Role Increase In State Sanctioned Non-State Actors Over Next Five Years

Executive Summary:
Due to regional stability, a significant ease of conducting business and relatively low levels of corruption, it is likely that government sanctioned non-state actors (NSAs), such as Microsoft and Visa, play the most influential but minimal role within Gabon (represented by its score of 2 on the State Sanctioned side of the Role Potential spectrum). However, within the next five years, it is likely that the role that NSAs play within Gabon will increase to a moderate level largely due to the government’s intent to privatize state-owned companies, while leading producers of manganese strive to boost production within Gabon.
